Designing Web-enabled services to provide damage estimation maps caused by natural hazards [PDF]

, 2010
The availability of building stock inventory data and demographic information is an important requirement for risk assessment studies when attempting to predict and estimate losses due to natural hazards such as earthquakes, storms, floods or tsunamis ...

Identification of serum protein biomarkers for pre‐cancerous lesions associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This work identified serum proteins associated with pancreatic epithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and early‐stage PDAC. Proteomics screens assessed genetically engineered mice with abundant PanINs, KPC mice (Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐KrasG12D/+ Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1‐Cre) before PDAC development and also early‐stage PDAC patients (n = 31), compared to benign ...

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Excavation induced building damage

Geotecnia, 2006
Ground decompression is usually associated to underground excavation, generally leading to subsidence of the surface. Consequences of such movements on existing buildings must be evaluated especially in urban areas. In this paper the Building Risk Assessment (BRA) method proposed by Burland is presented, its usefulness being illustrated.

Performance evaluation of a pulsatile ventricular assist device under non physiologic pumping frequencies by means FEM and 2D approach [PDF]

, 2017
A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a blood pump that works in parallel with heart. It is used as a mechanical assistance for patients that suffer cardiac insufficiency: as a therapy, as a bridge to transplant or to extend life.

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Tephra fall impacts to buildings: the 2017–2018 Manaro Voui eruption, Vanuatu

Frontiers in Earth Science
Building damage from tephra falls can have a substantial impact on exposed communities around erupting volcanoes. There are limited empirical studies of tephra fall impacts on buildings, with none on tephra falls impacting traditional thatched timber ...
